It is concluded, therefore, that the only way to save the forests of the mountain and serve the peace of that region is by making it a Federal reservation, connected with Lime Point military reservation, and puiting it under military ol and control. We sympathize,warmly with the proposition to pro- tect the miountain and the peace and order of the tract that must be traversed to gain access to its sum- mit. But we wish that Marin County would first prove that it can compel order and punish disorder within its borders. cept as a gift a reservation upon the plea that the loczl authorities cannot keep the peace there, and the soldiers are necded to act as gendarmes for that purpose. Disorders of that kind are common to all large cities, and it would be a hazardous precedent to set if their existence were made the reason for as- suming Federal jurisdiction and having permanent martial law. There are many reasons why an exten- sion of Lime Point military reservation would be de- sirable, and as such policy would serve the purposes of the General Government and of the local people it should be carried cut. & oke and ly for ction Our weather is cool enough, but if the Republican | State Central Committee should bg fool enough to give Kelly, Crimmins, Herrin and company a chance to break into the Republican party in this city it would not be long before politics here would be hot enough to make Ohio seem like a summer resort. The Filipino prisoners at Guam are said to have or- ganized a government of their own; but while the experiment is commendable as a pastime for men in captivity, it can hardly be called a free government and is not likely to take an appeal to The Hague | court of arbitration. When the people of the Eastern cities were swel- tering in the heat of the hot wave the optimists went about saying, “This is good-weather for corn”; but row that corn is being blighted in the ficlds the only thing they can say is that it is good weather for beer. —_— It is strange with all these terrific thunderstorms in the East of which we have been reading the light- ping hasn'’t struck a single candidate for any office, and yet there are hundreds of them with their rods up.

John Vance Cheney has published most instructive criticisms and reviews, but, while able to point out even where Jove nods in composition, he never rose to the sublime height whereon Professor Wendell perched and denounced the papers written by his class as “‘disgusting slop.” Harvard is a fountain of criticism, not summer criti- cism merely, for, like death, it has all seasons for its own. We will not enlarge upon other features com- mon to the two. Harvard is a’ well of English, but there may be some albuminoid, ammoniacal English init. It is to be regretted that when Professor Wen- dell's summer class at Berkeley ran its second heat in composition only one paper was handed in, and the writer who ventured to offer that removed from it all identifying marks of sex and name, as unlawful hunters of deer do from the hides which they barter | for tobacco at the racket store. We assume that the Harvard purpose was accomplished, the same being to discourage composition. If the students in Professor Wendell's class had been perféct they would not have been there. They { would have been elsewhere, perhaps doing a summer school stult themselves. The defects discovered by the professor's keen Harvard nose were evidence that their invalid English required his professional ser- | vices, As a literary and critical evangelist he is sup- posed not to bring medicine to the well, but to them | that be sick. The summer students at Berkeley who are getting filled with English and courtesy and the teaching tem- per at the fountain of Harvard made the radical mis- take of failing to read up on Harvard English. Had they done so and used the forms familiar to Professor \\’endel) they would not now sit with tongues mute and pens smitten with paralysis in the presence of his famous garbage expression. Harvard has and has | had many professors, and they have published many books, some of them the most charming in American literature. The contemporaries of Professor Wendell are not publishing so much, but the soul that thirsts ! may go seek it as eagerly as the hart panteth for the water brook. One of Professor Wendell's most 1oted coileagues in the Harvard faculty is Professor | William James, whose specialty is psychology. He is | familiar with the spirit, the soul of man, and writes about it as others do of beans or putty. He can sit down a2nd whittle with the soul as neighbors do when they meet at the country store to talk about the | crops. } Professor James writes books to teach others how | to catch znd tame the soul. In one of these, called a § Bricfer Course,” in which soul trapping is taught ]acmss lots, he says: “I suspect that neither the na- ture nor the amount of our work are accountable for | the frequency and severity of our breakdowns.” Just look at that disjunctive conjunction! It was after.a singular verb, and when it caught a plural it locked like 2 bluefisher that lands a menhaden. Again, Professor James says: “The great memory for facts which'a Darwin or a Spencer reveal in their books is not incompatible with the possessiog of a mind with only a middling degree of psychological | retentiveness.” And yet again: “A river or'a stream | are the metaphors by which it is most naturally de- | seribed.” When a verb and its nominative are joined to- | gether in number and person let no man put them 1a.~’under unless he is a Harvard professor. 1f the Berkeley summer class had gone to these models its work would not now be going glimmer- | ing to limbo in a critical garbage cart as slop too dis- gusting for the Harvard sensibilities. Let even Professor Wheeler beware lest he too get | on the Index Expurgatorious which Professor Wen- ide]l carries in his head, for did he not say: “We"are glad to have a man here who is big enough to criti- E recently referred to the fmportatiqn of Harvard methods in criticism solely for the | | | cize us”'? | He should shuffle that sentence again-and accord- ling to the Harvard model deal it this way: “We is | glad to have a man here who are big enough to criti- | cize us. | Professor Wendell himself is an author of limited | but proved fecundity. One of his books is a guide, | philosopher and friend to “English composition.” In | it he criticizes two compositions, saying: “Simpler | words and littler, these last.” The chumps of lexi- | cographers say, “Little, less, ledst,” and eschew | “Little, littler, littlest.” If one not a Harvard pro- | fessor had desired to commend abstention from poly- ; syllables the sentence would have been made this way:. | “Simpler words and shorter, these a8t Such, perhaps, was what Professor Wendell de- | sired to say, but outside of Harvard the meaning of “Jittle” is not regarded as expressive of the thought he thought he thought. Very short words may be very great words indeed; for instance, the three let- [ tered name of the Deity. Love, hate, truth, age, day, | night, light, dark, mau, death, life, home, hope, help, {are all short words, but so great that the language | cannot spare them. Slop is also a short word, but in | another class. We suggest to the summeg class that |it eram some Harvard English and use it in future | compositions, and then Professor Wendell may smile 1‘upon his students and slop over no more. | | Bryan says: “Our good friend, Abdul Hamid Wool- omoi, the Sultan of Sulu, will be satisfied as long as | the salary voucher follows the flag”; and the Demo- crats had better put that in their scrap books, for it is the best thing Bryan ever said. T ——————— A SOUTH ASIAN RAILWAY. | HEN the Russians projected their various | W lines across Asia they did not contemplate | the possibility of a rival arising to cross their paths. At the earliest suggestion of the con- | struction of a railway from Constantinople eastward | across Southern Asia to India and to China they en- tered a formal protest, and their influence with the Sultan was sifficiently strong to prevent him for many a year from granting such a concession. Finally, | however, Germany and Great Britain combined were {able to overcome the cpposition and a number of Ger- man capitelists, having the support of their Govern- ment, obtained a concession to construct a road from | Angora, the present terminus of a German railway in Asia Minor, through the valley of the Euphrates, to El Kuwelt, on the Persian Gulf. The distance from the Bosporus to the Persian Guilf is about 1750 miles. From that point the next project would be to extend the road still farther east <o as to connect it with the railway.systems of India and China. A recent description of the projects says that from El Kuwelt across Persia to Baluchistan, where the British sphere of influence begins, would require the construction of a line about 700 miles. From that point to “Kurrachee, in Western British : India, 520 miles of railway will neéd to be built. India has already a well-developed system extending from Kurrachee eastward via Calcutta to Kunlong Ferry, on the frontier of Chira. From the Ferry down the Yangtze Valley to Shanghai is a distance of 1600 miles. Summing up, it appears that with the com- pletion of the German railway from Constantinople to the Persian Gulf there would remain but 1250 miles to be built to the frontier of China, or 2850 miles to Shanghai.” It is believed by the projectors that when completed the southern line would be much more satisfactory to travelers than the Siberian road, and that it would get the bulk of the railway traffic across Asia. That view seems to have been taken by the Russians themselves, | for as soon as the Germans obtained the concession for the line to the Persian Gulf the Czar entered into a treaty with the Persian Government which virtually gives Russia control over that country. Consequently, any attempt to extend the line beyond El Kuwelt will doubtless be met by determined Russian opposition. That such antagonism will be difficult to overcome | goes without saying. The Germans, however, are a strong and resourceiul people, and may yet accom- plish their purpose. If so, the traveler across Asia, instead of having to pass the dreary barrennesses of Siberia, will be able to traverse the thickly populated and renowned countries with which history, religion and literature have so many associations. o ————.

OF THE BOSSES. THE FIGHT HAD any proof been needed of the wisdom of genuine Republicans in organizing to assure the holding of fair and honest primary elec- tions under the law, it would be found in the efforts now being made by the old bosses to get control of the party machinery and dominate the primaries in spite of the law. These bosses have set up a so-called Republican County - Committee of their own, and, fearing to submit its claims to the Board of Election Commissioners, have appealed to the Republican State Central Committee for recognition and sup- port. In the call for a meeting of the State Central Com- mittee Chairman Stone says: “Two organizations, cach claiming to be the Republican County Commit- tee of the city and county of San Francisco, have filed petitions with the Board of Election Commission- ers,” and he adds that he has received a written re- quest from one of the two committees asking that the State Committee be convened to hear the claims of the two ard determine which is legally entitled to act as the Republican County Committee. That statement is decidedly deceptive. It conveys the idea that the Republicans of this city are divided, whereas there is no division among genuing Repub- licans at all. At the last municipal nominating con- vention a committee was appointed to hold office and represent the municipal Republican party for two years. There is no other committee that disputes that claim. Its title is not only undeniable, but is ac- tually undenied. Under that committee the Repub- licans of the city have organized and Mave prepared for the primaries. There are no divisions among them, no factions and no dissensions. All are in favor of fair and honest primaries conducted in the in- terest of no particular candidates, and designed solely to elect to the nominating convention thoroughly representative Republicans who will nominate men worthy of the party and of the offices to which they aspire, and who if elected will provide the city with an efficient and economical administration. The movement for honest primaries carried forward with so much vigor under the direction of the Pri- mary Leagtie was a warning to the bosses that they would have no longer any power to do corrupt poli- tics in the name of the Republican party. They there- fore at once-set about devising means for breaking into the party under any kind of pretense. They found a committee that had been appointed by a State convention to arrange for nominating candi- | dates for the Legislature, and they obtained control of it. It had never anything to do with municipal affairs, and yet the claim is made that it is authorized to act for the Republican party in this municipal cam- paign. Tt is to support that claim that an appeal has been made to the State Committee. The men who are engineering the scheme are well known. They are the familiar bosses, Kelly and | Crimmins, who are not now nor have ever been Re- publicans in any true sense of the word, but are merely mercenary politiciahs, dealers in all kinds of jobs, and just as ready to knife the party ticket as to sup- port it. These men are in close relation with Demo- cratic bosses of their own type, and woulg not hesi- tate to bring the heelers of the Democratic camp into Republican primaries any more than they would to send their own heelers into Democratic primaries. These corrupt bosses are assisted in their schemes by John C. Lynch, W. F. Herrin, Jere Burke and other employes of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The order of President Hays that the employes of the road must keep out of politics has been violated. Her- rin and Kelly were never in closer communion than they are now.

MIRRORS AND BIRDS. «I learned a trick while in the Philip- pines in the matter of keeping birds out of fruit trees,” volunteered a well-known official of the Postoffice Department to a Washington Star reporter, “‘which may be of value to many just now, when so many cherries are being destroyed by birds. It is simple, inexpensive ‘and, as far as I could observe, practical. It consists in hanging a small mirror on the top limbs | of the tree. There should be at least six inches of string to the mirror, so that it can swing about as it is blown by the wind. The flash of the mirror it appears scares the birds away. One or two 5-cent mirrors hung on a tree is sufficient, though, of course, three or four would be | that much better. I wad told that this method had been worked in the Philip- pines successfully for many years, and | that the birds do_not grow familiar with ! it, as they do with a scarecrow. Since my return here I find that the mirror scare is not unknown here and that it has been in use by Michigan fruit growers for many years.

The general process of manufacturing | corn starch is as follows: The corn is first | macerated in a weak alkaline solution, | containing about 200 grains of caustic | soda to a gailon of water. This alkali dis- | solves the gluten, but leaves the starch f the grain. After standing about twenty- four hourg the alkaline liquid is drawn | off and the grain, after being well washed, | is drained and is then ground into flour. | A fresh quantity of Iye is added to it, and | it is again digested for twenty-four hours 1 or so, with frequent stirring. It is then | left for about seventy hours, in which time the dissolved gluten rises and forms a yellowish stratum at the top. This part is carefully drawn off, leaving the fibrous part of the grain at the bottom, inter- | mixed with starch. This deposit is then washed with cold water several times and the water drawn off until nothing is left but the fibrous part of the grain, while the water which has carried off the starch | in solution defioma it in a perfectly pure condition.
